I think in the announcements onboard they do talk about "blueberry juice" but if you look at the English side of the carton it accurately says bilberry.

Fazer on the other hand are happy to use the wrong name, they admitted to me in an email that their chocolate bar with "blueberries" is actually using bilberries, but would prefer to use a name that's more recognisable.
If I might refer to Wikipedia it says
Vaccinium myrtillus is a species of shrub with edible fruit of blue color, commonly called "bilberry", "wimberry", "whortleberry", or European blueberry
and in the link to bilberry it says
This article is about the "European" blueberry. For the "American" blueberry, see Blueberry.
(highlighting by Wikipedia)

So Fazer and AY have a point.
